West Maui Beachfront Luxury Condo 30 Steps From The Ocean!

THIS IS A SPECIAL ADDITION TO THE DESCRIPTION OF OUR MAUI HOME IN THE WAKE OF THE TRAGIC FIRES OF AUGUST 8 IN AND AROUND LAHAINA TOWN.

Aloha. By now you have already seen stories and footage of the loss of our beloved Lahaina along with at least 115 lives and 1000s of properties. I have been keeping a blog of sorts since the day after the fires to keep the many concerned people in our extended Ohana up to date on developments here. It is purely from my point of view, so take it for what it is. If you are interested in reading it in its entirety, you can find it at the link below:

Here at our condominium complex of Lokelani, we are fortunate. We were well removed from the fires and suffered no physical damage, just lost power for about a week and TV and Wi-Fi internet access for almost 3 weeks. Our area of Honokowai, about 10 minutes north of Lahaina town, became a center for many of 5he evacuees who suffered catastrophic losses. We are currently housing a number of displaced folks at Lokelani condos, and continue to look for ways to support our grieving community. If you would like to help, there are many fine charities providing support on Maui, and if you follow my link, I provide information on several.

I am providing an excerpt from my most recent blog entry that provides my response to several questions I have received on returning to Maui. For those already scheduled in our condo, please note that you continue to be welcome. If for any reason you do not feel the time is right for you to come out, all cancellation fees are waived, even if you make your decision at the very last minute. We will also match donations in whole or in part to any of the Maui recovery causes I include in my reports. Mahalo for your time and attention, and below is the excerpt from my blog.

On the topic of coming back to Maui, and when, I’ll give you my opinion, which I’m sure is just one among many. First, it’s clearly got to be a personal decision. A lot will depend on what you want in terms of a Maui vacation. If you’re looking for a ‘party-hearty’ Maui experience, now is probably not the right time. Lahaina town is in ruins and will be years in recovery.  Local spirits are depressed, including among those far from the devastation.  Businesses are struggling to be open and offer their full range of services and menus because of the lack of customers. For those who recognize that these are extraordinary times and not everything will be the way it was before, however, coming to Maui is a concrete way to give back to the island, local businesses and people. You can choose to be part of our recovery as surely by spending locally as you can by donating to the sorts of causes we’ve discussed previously.  But don’t let me dissuade you from doing both!
 
This opportunity to help now by visiting thoughtfully is particularly true in the south, center and upcountry where the fires were either absent or not as severe.  Parts of upcountry are under some water restrictions, but in general everything is there and ready for visitors. The west side will obviously take longer to recover, but the businesses here need the support as much or more than anyplace on island. Places to stay will likely be in short supply for a while as we need to offer housing to our many friends and neighbors who lost their homes ...
